F                     Dm
Once you were a young man,

                 C                     F
But now you are old - you're over the hill.

                F                       Dm
And you can't cross the palm of time's hand

                  C                 F
With silver and gold to make him stand still.

F                         Dm
Who could have possibly thought

                C                      F
It would go so fast, but it certainly did.

            F              Dm
And now you find yourself caught

                       C                         F
With less future than past - you're no longer a kid.

C
Once, as a boy, time weighed heavy on your hands -

Gm                         C
You couldn't wait to be a man.

F                                  Dm
Now you cry - oh, it's so hard to laugh,

                   C                                F
And you can't understand why you can't turn time around.

        F                      Dm
Your hourglass once had a top half

                         C                            F
That was filled full of sand, but it's all trickled down.
